In parallel with this significant meeting, the TSC-ACC joint meeting on Selected Topics from ACC and ACC/i2 was also realized with significant participation which we expect to be an international event next year and after. In fact, the joint meeting with ACC was the first activity of the newly established ACC Chapter in Turkey. Professor Alfred Bove Immediate Past President of the ACC and Professor Steven Nissen, currently Member of Board of Trustees and one of the Past President of the ACC (2006-2007) were also among the faculty of the meeting.
